Dereferencing shost from scsi_exit_rq() is not safe because the SCSI
host may already have been freed when scsi_exit_rq() is called.
Increasing the shost reference count in scsi_init_rq() and dropping that
reference in scsi_exit_rq() is nontrivial since scsi_host_dev_release()
may sleep and since scsi_exit_rq() may be called from interrupt
context. Since scsi_exit_rq() only needs a single bit from shost, copy
that bit into struct scsi_cmnd.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
